Search, find and open a file list

I have a list of files in a spreadsheet without the extension, and I want to simultaneously open pdf files associated with them.

The files are on a server in different directories.
It is a unique file name.

Is it possible to automate the windows with a macro search engine to locate the files listed, then open them?

    Download and run JDiskReport.

    There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a larger hard drive.

    • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
    • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files to delete or uninstall applications.

    keimanzero,

    Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
    First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

    Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
    Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

    Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

    Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
    2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
      If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

    If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.

  • Search find and style of text between HTML tags

    Here is an example in indesign. Ive been working with Word, Pages, Openoffice, and it's hard for everyone to submit documents style correctly. We found that the easiest way is to use HTML tags to indicate what gets the title beyond the standard paragraph style.

    < i > < /i > italic

    < b > "BOLD" < /b >

    code < code > < code >

    Code in bold < CODE > < CODE >

    Email or Adresse_web < url > < / url >

    I would like to search for ' < url > any character < / url > ' and add a character style to the text between the tags. Its ok if the style is applied to the tags, I can just "< url >" search and replace with white spaces.

    The question im hits which is a search for "< url >. "< / url >" returns 0 results. The '. ' is any character from the drop-down list of search next to the text field.

    I looked into GREP, but I've not had much luck find an answer CLAIRE using GREP.

    Right now what I'm doing is "< url >" search add a character style for the text between the tag found "url" and then when I'm done doing all this, do a quick find and replace "< URL >" and "< / url >. I was wondering if there was a faster way... Any help is very appreciated.

    Ah - Peter S. beat me to it! You add a question mark ()(.+) ()(.+?) (tag in the document at the last. (Parentheses are not required - in fact, the parentheses force InDesign in creating unnecessary references, making it less effective GREP. Although in short documents, you won't notice that.

  • I can not open JPEG files. When I try to make my computer goes to the word and gives me strings of unreadable code. How can I correct the problem and open JPEG files?

    Cannot open JPEG files. Computer to the word when attempted and gives the unreadable code strings. Corrective action?

    The file association seems to be incorrect.  To rememdy this...

    Right-click on any jpeg and select 'Open with' in the menu.

    From there, you should have several options, select Windows Picture Veiwer or anything that makes sense on your pc.

    If it opens correctly, close it, and then right-click again.

    Rather than choose the same program, at the bottom you should see "Choose program" click on it and select the application that worked, then check the box that says "always use the program selected to reopen this file type."

    OK out of there and you should be good to go.

  • Script to find and remove empty elements list ListBox

    My form contains some items added to a list box by the user of the form.

    I need a script that loop over the list of ListBox, find and delete all the elements that appear as empty (can click in the same row, but no text is displayed).

    You may need to change this option a bit according to your needs: he is not catching the items in the list with a blank space.

    var lbList = xfa.resolveNode("lbStuff.#items");
     for (i = lbStuff.length-1; i>=0; i--){
      if (lbList.nodes.item(i).value == "") lbStuff.deleteItem(i);
    } 
    

    I tested with a list box "lbStuff" container "15", "", "", and "16" as a value. This script removed the "", but left the "". "" So if it is possible for the user to add an element with spaces and no text, it will have to be changed a little.

Maybe you are looking for
